A man robbed the Fidelity Homestead Savings Bank in the 1200 block of South Carrollton Avenue Friday about 3:20 p.m.

The man walked into the West Carrollton neighborhood bank and handed the teller a note demanding money, FBI spokeswoman Sheila Thorne said. The robber's note implied he had a weapon,

The teller handed over money, which the man placed in his own FedEx bubble-wrap envelope, Thorne said. He then ran from the bank, up Oak Street toward Jefferson Parish.

Witnesses told the FBI that the man had a dark brown complexion, and wore oversized sunglasses and a dark New Orleans Hornets baseball cap. He appeared to be about 5 feet 3 inches tall and about 130 lbs, the FBI said. He was wearing a long-sleeved black shirt and oversized red shorts. He had at least one gold tooth and looked clean-shaven.

The FBI asks that anyone with information about the robbery call the FBI at 504.816.3000. The Metropolitan Orleans Bank Security Association is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the suspects.
